[Golf Topic] 'Olympic Gold' Rose "Honma Contract Ended, This Time Parting Ways with Coach~"

[Asia Economy Golf Specialist Reporter Kim Hyun-jun] ○…Justin Rose (England, photo), the 2016 Rio Olympics golf gold medalist, has parted ways with swing coach Shaun Foley (Canada), who had been with him for 11 years...

On the 17th (Korean time), Rose explained in an interview with the British newspaper The Telegraph, "I have been very satisfied with practicing alone at home for the past three months," adding, "It has become an opportunity for me to take the lead in managing my swing." This attracted more attention considering that all of his 10 career wins, including the Olympic gold medal and victories on the PGA Tour, were achieved in collaboration with Foley. He added, "We will continue to remain close friends."

It is interesting that Rose is seeking changes recently. On the 25th of last month, he ended his contract to use Honma golf clubs. In January last year, he chose Honma, which had a strong image as an expensive amateur senior brand, and immediately won the Farmers Open, creating a big impact in the golf equipment market. However, his performance sharply declined afterward, dropping to 14th in the world rankings. At the Charles Schwab Challenge, which ended on the 15th, he finished tied for 3rd using various clubs.
